Course Overview
Continues to explore the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) tools and applications using FEA software necessary to model, simulate, and analyze mechanical parts and assemblies. The topics covered include analysis of advanced loading, analysis of welded and bolted/pinned structures, design optimization, frequency analysis, and an introduction to fatigue and non-linear analysis.

- Analyze welded structures and assemblies using FEA software.
- Determine natural frequencies and mode shapes of components and assemblies.
- Optimize designs of mechanical components and assemblies using FEA.
- Analyze non-linear behaviour of mechanical parts and assemblies due to large structural displacement.
